This week’s homework is Creative. You can show this in any way you like – drawing, writing, cutting out picture and sticking in.
I can show how lunchboxes have changed over time.
In our history based Time Travel topic, we’re thinking about how things change over time and how things in your child’s life might be different to that of their parent/carer or grandparents.
Use the lunchbox template provided to show what your child would typically have in a lunchbox and then what you (as a parent or carer – or ask a grandparent) might have had in your own lunchbox.

This week the whole school has the same Talk Time homework which should be completed by Thursday 04 October.
If I could travel in time, who would I take with me and why?
This homework, which links to our current big topic (Time Travel), is a chance for children to think about who is important to them and why. There are many factors which may influence your child’s decision:
- What makes a good travel companion?
- Are there any skills that would help during time travel?
- Who do they enjoy spending time with and why?
- Do they choose someone they know or someone they know of?
Children should discuss this with someone at home and be ready to discuss their viewpoint as part of our weekly homework review next week.
